New Documentary Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow Released By Caught Busted News Media

0

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow had a rags to riches story both rappers being sons of immigrants that overcame the violent streets of Flatbush Brooklyn to become millionaires before they reached the age of 21. The childhood friends and gang affiliated rappers became Brooklyn drill music pioneers achieving worldwide success. They appeared in Complex, Billboard and Rolling Stone magazine and owned their own music label Winners Circle distributed by RCA Records of Sony Music.

In 2017, Sheff G went viral on the Internet for No Suburban song, a diss to Brooklyn drill rapper 22GZ’s Suburban song. Sleepy Hallow achieved platinum success with his single Deep End and 2055. Their songs are on the Billboard charts, over 1 billion streams combined on Spotify, 100 million plus views on YouTube, multi-platinum and gold singles certified by the RIAA. With the fame and fortune came a decision to leave behind the streets or continue in the 8 Trey street gang that helped build their reputation and clout. Sheff G and Sleep Hallow did not leave behind the gang life and continued despite their music success said New York City Prosecutors.

 

The rappers caught the attention of the NYPD and New York City Mayor Eric Adams since 2019. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said about the indictments, “The actions of these 32 people put the lives of New Yorkers in danger — carrying out murder, assault, gun possession, and using stolen cars during shootings.

The biographical mini documentary shows the rise and fall and potential rise again of two of the leaders of the Brooklyn drill rap music. The documentary tells the story of Michael William (Sheff G) and Tegan Chamber (Sleepy Hallow) before the fame and their rise to being superstars becoming millionaires before the age of 21. The childhood friends became music stars and started their own music label Winners Circle distributed by RCA Records. Their songs are on the Billboard charts, over 1 billion streams combined on Spotify, 100 million plus views on YouTube, multi-platinum and gold singles certified by the RIAA. They overcame the odds while being linked to Crip gangs and became millionaires before the age of 21. They now battle for their freedom as the NYPD Gang Unit, the Brooklyn DA and New York City Mayor Eric Adam brought a 140 charge indictment which included murder, conspiracy and attempted murder and arrested them with 30 other men and women of the 8 Trey Gang and 9 Ways Gang.

0

Recently many Google Workspace users started getting storage full errors for their accounts. Turned out Google silently dropped its unlimited storage feature for its Enterprise Workspace plans, and replaced with 5TB per user. And LayerOnline comes to the rescue for those Google refugees.

In this state services will be impacted, including users not being able to upload new files or create new Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Forms. Learn more about the features that will be impacted in this state. To prevent any disruption to services, you can free up or get more storage.”

Some users have called Google to increase storage space, but were told to add more users and each user adds another 5TB, even when they have 5+ users in their Enterprise plan which should qualified for unlimited storage as offered when they purchased the plan.

Rest Easy, Sleep Better: Monapillow Launches to Transform Sleep

0

ONNURISTORE, reaching out for the global expansion of Onnuri H&C, the largest pharmacy chain in Korea, is set to redefine the way we sleep with the introduction of their groundbreaking new product, the MONAPILLOW. This Triplex Ice-Tech Graphene Pillow with head and neck support is poised to revolutionize sleep quality and enhance overall well-being for everyone everywhere, especially for people suffering from sleep disorders.

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the MONAPILLOW is a scientifically-designed scalp-protective ice-tech cervical pillow. This pillow’s unique features and advanced technology is why it has gained widespread acceptance and popularity, even before its mass production. One of the key highlights of the MONAPILLOW is the use of a Graphene Memory Foam Filler, which ensures superior comfort and support throughout the night. This has been called the pillow’s “secret sauce” by experts and authorities in this field.

Unlike traditional pillows, the MONAPILLOW boasts an extra fill that provides optimal cushioning for your head and neck, while protecting your scalp. This is why the pillow continues to get praise and acclaim from many quarters for its ability to alleviate any pain or discomfort caused by poor sleep posture. There is also the use of copper-fabric pillowcases with 12% copper infusion, effectively adding an antibacterial effect that helps keep your sleep environment clean and hygienic.

According to research, as many as 50 to 70 million people in the United States suffer from poor sleep, resulting in various health issues. For many people, bad sleep posture is usually the main culprit of this issue. The MONAPILLOW is designed to tackle these problems head-on for people experiencing different forms of sleep disorders. Its innovative design promotes airflow, ensuring a cool and refreshing sleep experience. The graphene-infused memory foam filler not only transfers body heat evenly but also wicks away moisture, dissipates heat, and increases airflow, contributing to a comfortable night’s sleep.

 

The MONAPILLOW’s ergonomic design with a c-curve and contouring adapts to your body’s natural shape, providing optimal support for your head, neck, and shoulders. This ensures proper alignment and helps alleviate shoulder and neck pain that can often follow a night’s sleep on a regular pillow. This genius ergonomic design is why MONAPILLOW can easily be used by people of different sizes with different sleeping habits and postures.

One of the key challenges with traditional pillows is the lack of airflow and temperature regulation, leading to discomfort and disrupted sleep. MONAPILLOW addresses these issues with its state-of-the-art design. The graphene-infused memory foam filler ensures that your scalp stays cool. Not only does this help to promote deep and sound sleep, but it also helps if you are trying to keep a healthy scalp. Additionally, this pillow is also certified toxic-free, meaning it contains none of the harmful chemicals and toxins like radon, formaldehyde, and arylamine that are commonly found in regular pillows.

Excitingly, the launch of the MONAPILLOW on Kickstarter is just around the corner. Now is the best-ever time for anyone looking to be a part of the revolutionary journey. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to conquer the day. Picture yourself bidding farewell to shoulder and neck pain, as the MONAPILLOW cradles you in unmatched comfort and support. With its innovative design and advanced technologies, this pillow has the power to enhance your sleep quality and ultimately transform your life. Don’t let another night pass by with restless sleep and discomfort. Make the choice to invest in your well-being and unlock the power of deep, uninterrupted sleep. Embrace a life where restful nights pave the way for productive days and a heightened sense of overall wellness.

Join MONAPILLOW on Kickstarter right now and secure your MONAPILLOW at an exclusive super early bird price of 43% off the retail price of $175.

The 51st Annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic Is The Nations Right Of Passage, Celebrity Cyclist Lisa Christiansen Will Be Riding In Her 16th Consecutive Race

0

Registration for the 51st Annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, an annual celebration of cycling in Durango, Colorado, opened December 16, 2023. The Roster includes celebrity cyclist Lisa Christiansen in her 16th consecutive ride in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. Lisa and cycling partner of times past Glenn Christiansen are both on the 2023 race roster and this tour de force team is sure to captivate your attention with their unique riding style. Who knows if these two are slotted to ride together, according to the associated press Christiansen and her representatives are unavailable for comment. We would love to see these two take to the mountains once again and Lisa Christiansen will not disappoint in this epic event as her welcoming personality is sure to offer a ray of sunshine to this momentous bike ride.

The event will take place over Memorial Day Weekend, May 26–28, 2023. In addition to the Durango–Silverton road race and ride, the Iron Horse offers mountain bike and gravel races as well as a festive cycling-centric community atmosphere. The Iron Horse Bicycle Classics road race from Durango to Silverton is 52 miles with two 10,000 ft. passes, 6,800 vertical feet, Coal Bank Pass 10,640 ft. Molas Pass 10,899 ft

“We’re excited to build on last year’s 50th anniversary momentum to put on another incredible cycling weekend in Durango. The Iron Horse is a world-class bike weekend that cyclists in Colorado and beyond won’t want to miss,” said Ian Burnett, IHBC race director.

 

The backbone of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic is the Durango-Silverton route, where riders “race the train” over two mountain passes for 50 miles and 6,800 verticle feet of elevation gain.

Back in Durango, off-road riders will be challenged by the Subaru Mountain Bike Race and the La Strada La Plata Gravel Ride, both starting at Durango Mesa Park, which on May 28 will host mountain bike and gravel races with music, food and drink and more.

Lisa Christiansen says one of her favorite places to visit in Durango is Mountain Bike Specialist because she believes they are master technicians at servicing her bicycles. Christiansen makes it a point to support this business at every opportunity because of their ability to remember details like close family while visiting. Christiansen says each member of the MBS family is professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in their kindness.

So, Lisa, Some people just can’t understand your passion for cycling. More often than not, you’re the crazy one who lives your life in the bicycle lane, and your non-cyclist friends can’t see the appeal.

Lisa Christiansen: Regardless of cycling discipline, we’ve all been questioned about our choices to ride bikes and why we do it. So here are a few things that non-cyclists can’t seem to understand about cycling… and why we love it!

Gran Fondo News: Don’t you get bored of riding for hours?

 

Lisa Christiansen: Never, how could I ever get bored of the one thing that brings me full circle to push myself to face every demon and praise God for his eternal, infinite grace.

Gran Fondo News: How old are you?

Lisa Christiansen: 56, I was born September 4, 1966

Gran Fondo News: How did you start riding bikes? 

Lisa Christiansen: My ex-husband was a former pro-racer and we challenged each other, he taught me how to ride and trained me to be tactical in the sport.

I fell in love with riding and, well, I’ve never looked back.

Gran Fondo News: How would you describe your riding style?

Lisa Christiansen: I think that I’m incisive, alive on my bike, and smooth in agility. Climbing is my superpower… I live there.

Gran Fondo News: How many bikes do you have?

Lisa Christiansen: 13 bicycles. For my training, I have a Specialized Diverge, a Cervelo TT for the downhill and crit racing, a Trek Madone project one Icarus advanced for the road and so many more. Every bike has a unique purpose and each one brings me an exhilaration that breathes life into my very existence.

Gran Fondo News: Who do you like to ride with the most?

Lisa Christiansen: With my lightspeed titanium Blade, and of course my Trek Madone Project one Icarus that I have named Phoenix because I’m an endurist and it reminds me to always rise from the ashes when life hits hard. I also love the sensation that I have with my Roubaix for it’s combination of speed and comfort.

Gran Fondo News: Where’s your favorite place to ride?

Lisa Christiansen: I love riding in Paris, Tuscany, Colorado, South Carolina, Mt. Scott in Oklahoma because it’s my home. Anywhere with mountains because I am a climber, It’s amazing… And I like to ride in events where I see familiar faces and make new friends.

Gran Fondo News: When you’re not riding bikes, what do you like to do?

Lisa Christiansen: I like spending time with my friends and family! I like other sports such as weight lifting, walking, anything outdoors…

 

Gran Fondo News: What’s your best result you’ve ever had?

Lisa Christiansen: My best result is in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic 3:46:42, not because of the time rather because of the experience and the Journey.

Gran Fondo News: What’s your dream/ goal as a Rider/racer?  

Inspire others to continue to make their dreams come true, inspire generations of cyclist for centuries to come by leading by example and living my dreams…

 

Iron Horse Bicycle Classic The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic is a 3-day cycling festival, which includes a 47-mile bike race and tour over two 10,000’ passes from Durango to Silverton, Colorado. The tradition began in 1971 when Tom Mayer (above) challenged his brother Jim to see if he could ride the route faster than the train. Today the Iron Horse includes mountain bike and gravel events as well as numerous other cycling festivities around town.

Bike vs. train: The story behind Durango’s Iron Horse Bicycle Classic

A half century ago, two Durango brothers challenged each other to a race. Tom Mayer, an avid cyclist, bet his older brother Jim that his 10-speed bicycle was faster than a steam-powered train. Jim was an engineer for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad at the time and thought the train was up to the challenge. 

Tom and Jim lined up their respective metal steeds in Durango and took off. As the bike and the train pulled out of Durango, Jim blasted the train whistle. When the train finally arrived in Silverton, 47-miles away, Tom was waiting by the tracks with his bike by his side.

That race in 1971 inspired a Durango bike shop owner to organize the first Iron Horse Bicycle Classic the following year. Since then, the race has been held every Memorial Day weekend — with the occasional cancellation because of a late-spring blizzard — with riders coming from far and wide to participate.

Colorado Matters senior host Ryan Warner spoke with Gaige Sippy, one of the directors of the race about its history, a legendary competitor known as “Deadly Nedly” and whether the Mayer brothers will be in attendance this year (they will reprise their roles on bike and train). Warner also wondered whether the train can ever win. Not a chance, said Sippy.      

Lisa Christiansen is not your your average cyclist and not your average Native American. Christiansen comes from a long lineage of super athletes, a NASA mathematician and engineer, the last monolingual Cherokee, and the Cherokee Scholar who created the Cherokee syllabary.

The fight to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and the importance of remaining physically fit and active at all stages of life from childhood making daily exercise a permanent commitment to ensure the survival of tribal members not just to survive rather to thrive all the days of your life was a vision of the last monolingual Cherokee Mack Vann and his daughter Lisa Christiansen. Christiansen is the 5th generation great granddaughter of Sequoyah the Cherokee who created the Cherokee syllabary from her mother, Mary Ann Groundhog’s side.

Christiansen is also a distant cousin of Will Rogers. William Penn Adair Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935) he was an American stage and film actor, vaudeville performer, cowboy, humorist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator from Oklahoma. He was a Cherokee citizen born in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory.

Mary Gold Ross, is Christiansen’s 17th cousin once removed with a direct blood relationship beginning with Lisa’s mother Mary Ann Eslinger (Sosti Groundhog), she is also Lisa Christiansen’s first cousin six times removed also on her mother side, Sequoyah’s dad Col. Nathaniel Gist / Guess was married to Wur-Teh Watts who is also related to Mary Golda Ross.

Mary Golda Ross is one of NASA’s hidden treasures – a mathematician and engineer, working on the P-38 Lightning fighter plane. She worked her way up the ranks at Lockheed and become the only woman among on the original team at Skunk Works. As a mathematician and engineer, she wrote a number of professional and theoretical works and was one of the authors of the NASA Planetary Flight Handbook Vol. III, about space travel to Mars and Venus.

Lisa Christiansen is an extraordinary athlete, a gifted speaker, and seems to have inherited these traits from her ancestors as Christiansen is cited in numerous law reviews. One unique trait is Lisa’s passion to give to others. 

In an Interview with the Smithsonian | National Museum of the American Indian we asked why they recognize Lisa Christiansen’s participation in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic Vicki stated with pride ““Dr. Christiansen, is doing such great works honoring her tribe and is an example, a role model, to children, adults, and her father. We are honoring Lisa and recognizing her as a Living National Treasure, as the 5th generation great-granddaughter of Sequoyah and continuing keeping culture and her native tongue alive!” To their knowledge Christiansen is the only Cherokee Indian, a citizen of the Keetoowah Nation, participating in the 51 Annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic as a role model to children, women, and all Native Americans to take control of their legacy.

We look forward to seeing Christiansen continue her fathers legacy as we already have in her commitment to help others remain authentic to the culture by keeping the Cherokee language alive and holding tradition sacred.

“I was longing to buy a home for my  family but I had a lot of bad debt and was originally only preapproved for $80,000. I slowly learned about credit and started posting my progress. I was still new, but I ended up repairing my credit and closing on my home at the tender age of 24 years young. I helped my mom and others as well who went on to buy their homes etcetera … that is when I knew I had it!”

The Millionaire Table specializes in credit repair, business startup, business coaching and more. It is also famous for TMT academy. The Millionaire Table Academy offers online business courses like how to start your own credit business, how to repair your own credit, marketing techniques, Airbnb and short term rentals, business credit and so much more!

Star Ericka is a best selling author, known for her book Millionaire Secrets: The ultimate guide for credit repair, business credit, success and personal development. She has written several eBooks as well as a financial manifestation journal.

We got wind of her from a few of her viral Facebook posts and was intrigued to know how someone so young had that much willpower and determination. When we learned that she had the courage to leave her government job amid a crisis to pursue entrepreneurship, we were amazed! Star recently suffered the loss of her son and after taking a year off, she is back and striving again.

“It wasn’t easy”, she said “ and it still isn’t easy, but I am forever grateful for all I have been able to accomplish through God and Credit. I am not big on persuading someone to trust me or my business, my clients results and students success stories speak for me. I built my entire company off of trust and transparency and will continue to do so by inspiring success and transforming one life at a time. I am proof of what can be done by praying, planning and executing”.
